The upcoming Merdeka 118, formerly known as KL118, is on track to be completed by the second quarter (Q2) of 2022, according to Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) group chairman Tan Sri Dr Zeti Aziz.

Despite facing a delay in the construction process during the Movement Control Order (MCO) that started on March 18 last year, Zeti expected at least two to three months of extension for the project.

"The building has reached level 118, with a facade at level 99. We are very pleased with this progress," she told reporters after PNB's financial year 2020 virtual briefing on Thursday.

Meanwhile, PNB president and group chief executive officer Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn said the group is currently in advanced discussions with a number of “large” domestic and international corporations on being a co-anchor together with PNB for the Merdeka 118 building.

"We have a significant portion of the high floors being taken up by the Park Hyatt Hotel that will open next year.
